The first visit was with Grandpa B@ker. Brad's mom was a little concerned, because Grandpa's hearing is going that he would miss out on all the lovely sounds Aria makes - and yes, he missed the cute happy coo-ing, BUT he certainly got to hear some of her wonderful noises that night! - more on that in a bit.
My sister's kids started calling my Opa & Oma "Opa-pa" and "Oma-ma" and I like that - so Aria visited with her Grandpa-pa B@ker at her Great-Uncle Ron and Great-Aunt Carol's place (they love it SO much to be Great aunts & uncles - all of the relatives on Brad's mom's side who've become great with Aria's arrival - they love it when we call them that a LOT - it doesn't make them feel OLD at all...right guys?) So, the whole gang was there (minus a few, including Aria's Grandparents, who stayed in Ottawa), and once she was passed around the circle a couple of times, she stopped at Grandpa-pa. Aria was a little fussy by this point in the trip (as she's almost never REALLY fussy) - there had been a lot of car rides and a lot of people, and this was a loud house full of many strangers, so Aria had been doing quite a bit of crying up to that point.
When Grandpa-pa held her she calmed right down and just stared at him. She grabbed onto the front of his shirt and looked up into his face, and Grandpa-pa held her for quite a while without her starting to fuss. It was really cool to see. **You'll notice she's wearing her "I love my Grandpa" bib, and we took a bit of tape, and added "GREAT" on in front of Grandpa**
You could tell she was well loved by him, and everyone there that night!
Bedtime Kisses from Grandpa-pa
